Good idea as the more added to peoples knowledge the better.

I'd cover such things as:

PSTN to Digital Voice/Voip WLR3/SOGEA
EVA - Emergency Voice Access service
PDPL/SOTAP phone only transition service
VOIP v Proprietary digital voice
Copper to Full Fibre
Cabling  and other means like ATA's etc
Telecare consideration
Power backups/Duel phones that have built in SIM's
Using the ISP's router or not
Different network considerations - Virgin/NextFibre, Openreach, CityFibre, 
Other altnets etc
Local government/ISP engagement events

I'm sure you can add to that as well :-)
